Features

SPA (S3)

• create a website-enabled public S3 bucket
• push a dummy index.html file
• create a Cloudfront distribution mapping to the created bucket with :
  • HTTPS certificate
  • HTTP to HTTPS redirection
  • cache configuration (max 600ms on index.html, max 31536000ms on the other files) ¹
• create a DNS A-record in Route53, alias to the generated Cloudfront distribution

Kubernetes

The Kubernetes configuration is much simpler for the moment. It is mostly a convenience to retrieve the right URL.

• get the URL of the Load Balancer of a service
• create a DNS A-record in Route53, alias to the URL previously retrieved

- 1 - this allow an optimal cache management for SPAs, because since most of the files will change name at each release, a low cache duration on index.html allows a faster load of the new version.
